description

Instantly blur flaws and smooth out your skin with Optical Illusion Complexion Primer. This primer reduces fine lines and makes pores seem to vanish—for a gorgeous, porcelain-like texture. Makeup not only goes on better, but also lasts longer. This velvety soft, lightweight primer has a slight pink tint to illuminate skin pre-makeup, but dries down to a translucent, matte finish. This cushiony formula contains optical blurring pigments for beautifully perfected skin. A luxurious blend of argan, rosehip and meadowfoam seed oils provides moisturizing and antioxidant benefits while vitamin E conditions. Optical Illusion Complexion Primer comes in a luxurious clear bottle with a metallized gunmetal cap and base. We even equipped the bottle with an airless pump—so it’s easy to get out every last bit of product.

    This primer provided a lovely smooth canvas to my skin, and worked well despite my skin being oily. The packaging works really well as you can get every last bit of product out with the pump. I did...

    So I bought this on a whim in the Selfridges online sale. My skin can be unpredictable - I rarely get spots/blemishes, but I do have some redness, large pores and prone to some oiliness. I’ve...

    For me, the only thing appealing is the packaging. I bought it because the soft focus primer is discontinued. So, here is the deal. It is super "silicony", distribution has to be super even so...

    It's a pretty average silicone-y primer. Has that velvet feel and makes foundation go on smoothly. Cruelty-free. Not irritating. I do think it (and others like it) clings to dry skin, so it's...

    This is the best primer that I have used so far. It worked better than pore professional at blurring pores. Recommended.

    Do not try this if you have peeling skin because of dryness or acne treatment. Never had my skin looked so bad , it emphasized every little flaky skin, and created wrinkles where I did not have any.

    This is a thick primer and a little is required otherwise it starts to pill on the skin. I personally like the color and it does not have a smell. It is also good for my sensitive skin, but I am...

    To begin, I truly think this is a neat product. The rating I gave has more to do with how the product worked in me, not the formula itself. The formula of this product is exquisite. It definitely...

    NOT for super oily skin! This just made my makeup slide off much sooner than usual. It’s thick and dry to the first touch, but it’s just a lot of silicones that do nothing for me. I prefer Julep...

    All primers claim to fill in your pores, it seems. This is the *only* primer that has ever really done that. It's gold in a pump, seriously. It is silicone, but it's not like the smashbox liquidy...

    This primer brightens and smooths my skin and really keeps foundation from settling into facial lines. It is just what I've been looking for!
